JAMMU, Jan 16: Senior military officials of India and Pakistan will meet tomorrow at Chakan-Da-Bagh (CDB) in Poonch sector to discuss ways to strengthen the ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC) against the backdrop of violations in the recent past especially in the months of August and September last year.
Brigadier Sanjay Thakran will represent India in the meeting, which would be held at 11 am at Chakan-Da-Bagh cross-LoC point, official sources said.
The meeting at the level of Brigade Commanders of the two countries will be part of a decision taken during the meeting of the DGMOs last month at the Wagah border.
Ways to strengthen the ceasefire will be the focus of the meeting, sources said.
In the DGMOs meeting on December 24 at Wagah border in Punjab, it was decided that two flag meetings between Brigade Commanders will be held on the LoC to ensure peace and tranquility and the hotline mechanism between them would be made ‘more effective and result-oriented’.
A few months back, the LoC was witness to major violations from the Pakistani side and the issue had to be taken up by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif in New York.
India had also raised the issue of cross-border raids by Pakistan Army troops and the frequent ceasefire violations by them during the DGMO meeting.
